Won't Idle

We have a Toyota 8FGCSU20 that is hard to start and when it finally starts, it will only run at high RPMs. If we slowly let off of the accelerator pedal, it begins to surge up and down and if we let off off the pedal completely, it dies. Help please!!!!!!

It may sound silly, but check your oil level, hydraulic level also. this is the first cause of poor power or non-starting.
if that is fine, check your air filter also.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
